d.b.a., New York

Short for 'doing business as,' this bar's name could just as easily stand for 'drink beer at.' There are over 100 beers and ales available on tap or in the bottle, as well as an impressive list of whiskey, wine, cognac and tequila. The bar has a beer garden in back during good weather. People also socialize around the packed bar inside. The beers, some hand drawn, are mostly imported and come from such countries as Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Holland, Switzerland and England.
